Coach Saban is a model for excellence. Appreciate the willingness to acknowledge what is and isn't good for college football.
Well usually he gets attacked for speaking his mind on what’s good and bad…but I guess the times are a changing
He complained about NIL like he hadnt paid players the whole time
@@TylerEubankprove it all this talk but no proof
That's most of the successful coaches, Saban isn't a model for excellence... he's failed in the NFL and knows he has a hold on all college football...can't wait for him to be gone.
@@TylerEubank he’s been pushing for NIL long before it started. Also, he’s never had a cheating scandal. Rumors started by jealous fans on the internet don’t count
As a Georgia fan, the day Coach Saban retires. I will light candles and cry a few tears, Enjoy a good whiskey and reflect on the years. For the greatest coach in football deserves a few years of rest. Watch him coach, I feel so blessed.
I may not be a Bama fan but that man deserves all the flowers
He’s the absolute best!
Alot of sabens titles were won with kirby smart, I feel like Bama is just very good at hiring coaches weather there defensive or offensive all of sabens under coaches or assistance if you will are also to give some credit too, especially kirby smart 8 or 9 of sabens titles kirby was apart of
@@DevinHoyt-tz9rbthis also falls back on Saban picking those people to work for him he knows greatness. Kirby and Lane are great and they have achieved greatness especially from their time working with Saban
@@New_Orleans_Ghost_Hunter oh you think head coaches pick there assistance gotcha, I don't think that's how it works that's why schools have athletic directors and stuff, but your opinion is yours, regardless, saben has done nothing but won i think 3 titles since kirby has left.. not saying anything bad about saben but I do think he gets way to much credit 🤷♂️
@@DevinHoyt-tz9rbor saban made kirby smart and those guys great
I actually started looking forward to Coach Saban on Thursdays. Alot of good insight
As a Michigan Fan, I respect Saban so much more. The guy is a mastermind.
@duders345 wanna BET. Michigan dominated.
The UM guy gave Bama a compliment and you respond with sour grapes. Loser.
Yeah. He hid so many weaknesses this season. The game vs Michigan was the worst game minus AU all season. Still somehow managed the game into OT. Saban is the undisputed G.O.A.T.
I'll say it since no one else will. Alabama needs to move on from Saban, his teams are becoming worse each year. Just like the Pats are moving on from Bellicheck the Tide need to find a new coach.
@duders345I bet it'll be like the 2021 game between the two Michigan will get the w Michigan will control the clock
Coach, you lost to the #1 and #3 team and beat the number 1 team. Great season! Tough teams and it came back down to one play! Roll Tide!
When I was a kid my dad, uncles and grandad used to talk about watching the Bear and his time at Alabama and I would always be jealous that I missed the Golden Age of Alabama Football and had to suffer under Dubose, Franchione and Shula. Now I think how I will have the same honor and privilege of telling my own son and daughter and one day my grandchildren of the Glory Days under Saban and watching the Dynasty live on! Roll Tide and God Bless!
It is lonely at that top but dang the view is good. RTR
greatest coach of our time. RTR.
SAME. I teared up when we lost to UF in 2008 bc I thought that was our only chance
I am 68 years old.
I'm lucky enough to live during Bear and Saban.
The are both cut from the same cloth.
I can’t lie bro seems super cool fr i didn’t know he was chill like that 🤝🏾i don’t wish misfortune on Alabama anymore much respect
Coach Saban’s the best! So thankful he’s our HC @ Alabama. Roll Tide!!
Why do you use the phrase roll tide. That’s all I’ve heard from Alabama fans for the last 30 days. Michigan played a horrible game especially on special teams and still managed to beat a good Alabama team. Go blue Michigan 35, Washington 27.
@@DougalsBrooksAlabama
Had a new offensive coordinator, a new defensive coordinator, a new quarterback, and an all around young team this year.. nobody expected this team to make it this far.. Alabama fans don’t expect to win it all every year.. the rest of the country does for whatever reason
@@DougalsBrooks” why do you use the phrase Roll Tide “
Because true BAMA fans don’t hate their team after losing one big game. We know the Crimson Tide hasn’t fallen far, AT ALL. We know Alabama will be back on top. Therefore…
🐘Roll Tide🐘
@@DougalsBrooks you could also say that Bama played a horrible game and Michigan still needed a 4th quarter comeback to send it to OT and won on the last play of the game
Can’t believe he just retired after saying he wouldn’t
This guy is the best coach ever. In addition, his players show class toward opponents even after a very difficult loss. Very respectful toward my Wolverines after the game. Michigan fan here, but I respect what Saban has done in his career. I'm still thrilled to death we won the Rose Bowl!!!
My coach is so real.. smh man we better cherish every moment watching him coach cause it’s history. It’s gona be a sad sad sad day when he retires. Smh and I will shed a tear. We love ya Coach
BAMA is Grateful for every minute we have Coach Saban🙏🏼❤️🐐
It’s a sad day brother!! I’m hurt!
Today is that day.
@@elyono2112 sad is an understatement 😔
Just retired
I was at the game rooting for Michigan, but came away with so much respect for Alabama Football and their fans. Saban is such a great representative for that program. legend.
As a Bama fan I thank you.
As a Bama fan, thank you 🙏
Saban is the freaking man, no one will come close to him for a long time, may be the greatest coach I ever see in CFB during my lifetime as a 29 year old Clemson fan.
The man has been declining. It was never because of Saban that Alabama was winning. It was because of the players that often don’t get the credit. It’s just music. The lead singer gets all of the credit while the producer, musicians and background singers barely even gets recognition. The players have made Saban look good. When that last Alabama play didn’t work people said it was a bad call. If the play would’ve worked Saban would’ve been praised.
@@davidirish6875I will agree that he’s a good leader but he’s definitely not the greatest! Nobody is the greatest. He’s one of the greatest and there are several greats. It’s just saying a particular woman is the prettiest. If Saban was the greatest he would be perfect and no one is that! If he was perfect he would get it right every time!
@@csmgmobile do you realize that the goal of being a football coach is to win football games? You know that the most important part of winning is to have better players than the other team and get them to score more points right?
This is really a great interview. You can see why players want to play for him.
Really good to see coach Saban is still growing as a person and coach and have huge respect for he and Alabama and as an Arkansas fan appreciate the way he represents himself and the conference.
Go hogs
RTR!!
Bama got whipp😂
WPS!
@@tonywallace9058 real comedian you are 😂
The pressure on these coaches is unreal. No one can nor should they have to win a championship every year.
Unreal expectations.
Obviously he is outstanding!
It is but they sign up for it. Kirby will deal with the same if he doesn’t win another one in the next few years. Ryan day is dealing with it now.
@@ldcow3948Ryan day chokin hard
Nick Saban is a great coach, but an even better person.
University of Alabama is where Legends are made & Nick Saban is walking proof of that, Thanks for the memories Coach!!! Hopefully I will see ya out on the lake... RTR
Been a fan of Bama Since 2007. I didn't know we'd have one of the best coaches of all time at the college level just yet. The true reason I was a fan was because of Glen Coffee. I remember them losing to Florida when everyone was a Tebow fan (So was I) I decided this was my team. 6 Championships later I can't thank Saban enough for the memories and the games he gave me growing up. I still can go back in my head and appreciate the feelings of each championship. Roll Tide!
This is really educational. It’s great hearing the insights from coach Saban!
Gotta love Coach Saban. He's the best to ever do it. Like him or not, much respect to Coach Saban!
Im glad we got coach Saban at Alabama, we just have Alabama fan's that are spoiled seeing all this success we've had winning titles, but he coached
this team with not as many stars we are used to seeing& the transfer portal is snatching up player's fast we get them.
This Specific Team actually overachieved. From Week 2 to CFP this Team is total different team. No one thought they would make CFP after Week 3 and how they looked.
Greatest coach in sports history
John Wooden says hello
@markkoolAidBB was carried by Brady
Belichick himself called Nick Saban the greatest coach of all time.
Phil jackson would like a word along with red auerbach john wooden bill walsh bill belicheck cmon pal
Scotty Bowman was better and did it at the highest level.
Most people think Coach being funny and light, especially on this program, are finding it to be him 'softening up'. Coach has always been this way - he's this way behind the scenes with players, former players, family and friends. He's getting older and he's realizing it's okay to show that side of him (and probably Miss Terry has told him to be nice to everyone)
Lots of people forget these are young adults. There needs to be structure and leadership.
WE LOVE YOU SABAN & ALABAMA ❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️🤍💫🙌🤍🅰️🏈🐘🏆
I can’t wait for next season. Gonna be lit. I hate that it’s changing but I love the 12 team playoff idea
Pure class always from the goat coach saban
Respect to Saban
Saban is the greatest coach in college football history. I don’t care who you are a fan of, if you don’t think that you’re crazy. So much respect for this guy, so much respect for this team. Good season y’all.
I don't think that any of us will be alive when a coach wins as many national championships as Saban has.
Thank you so so much i m a huge fan and come here every week to watch this. I m a hige Alabama fan and remember the day saban got here. I watch everything bama and all the interviews with saban and everyone but i like this one the best.
The best show and interview in sports. Hands down.
Saban gas at least 5 or 6 years left in him. He is a young 72.
I always forget he’s 72. He looks great and is obviously a brilliant guy. I know he doesn’t drink, but dude definitely can keep going quite a while.
GG Bama was a fun game to watch nothing but respect towards Saban and his team.
Yessir hope y’all win it all! Definitely deserve it.
I see them PALM TREES through that window behind Coaches left shoulder. He's enjoying that Beach House in Jupiter Florida. Enjoy Coach get you some R&R ..You deserve it!! We Love you Roll Tide!❤
Great interview. I hope Coach will be back next season-this segment was money. Hit the nail on the head about FSU-they could have made history. Love your show Pat- stay tough.
Nick Saban is the goat. You can tell by me as an Auburn fan, and how big of a party I will throw when he finally retires.
Edit: alrighty, let the party commence! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Agree 100%. War Eagle
@@zackholley9627War Eagle!
That’s pathetic 🤣 go aggies !!!
@@DatBoiDeboer who’s your coach again?
@@andersongray9820 his name is Jerry kill and he wasn’t accused of sexual misconduct and cheating by the ncaa and hired just because he beat bama twice 🤣
Will Alabama is my team but we got out coached and outplayed straight up. Michigan was more aggressive with a couple of trick plays and had a better game plan. Sorry Nick it wasn't our best performance
No, we didn't have our best game. I bet Michigan can say the same thing too. Neither team was perfect. But they made the plays they had to make when they needed them. It was a close game.
Sorry Jim! That wasn't your best comment!
Nick Saban is a class act
I love Alabama football, we'll have a better season this year I'm excited about this one I would love to see ty Simpson playing quarterback this season, give him a chance I think he will be a great quarterback this season I'll always be a Alabama fan, ROLL TIDE ROLL 🤓👍🥾🏈🐘❤️
Let's be honest we said the exact same thing about 2022 when we were supposed to have the greatest team under the Saban era probably ever and we saw how that turned out.
Another SEC championship for Coach Saban with a young team.
Bama was crappy and could not have been worse and STILL had chances to win ... 🏈🏈🏈
But Michigan was crappy and still won
because michigan was even sloppier... and they still ACTUALLY won
@@nerdleturtle9365true and the coaching edge went to Michigan for sure
@@nerdleturtle9365 no they weren't
@@vhazypiev9698 2 muffed punts, one of them gifting bama 7 points. 4 points botched by the FG unit. A near interception on the first play by UM. Too many drops to count. Failed flea-flicker killing a good UM drive after bama had just reclaimed momentum. Still want to claim that they weren't sloppy? If they play mistake free like they had been all year, this is a 31-13 win by UM
How wonderful to hear that Coach Saban has a system to propel his players to a successful career in the NFL.
It's a wonderful feeling to watch the guys he recruits become millionaire men when they are picked in the NFL.
Coach Saban Keep Doing You!!! You have a Formula for Success. Yes, we fumbled in the Rose Bowl.
I say a Fumble is Simply a Recovey Waiting to Happen. So Alabama Will ReCover!!!!
The transfer portal definitely needs more guidelines and rules in place
ESPN did all they could to get Bama to the championship. The only real option left for them is to pay off the officials to guarantee a Bama win!
Control ,focus and believe.confidence and what coach says practice like it was your last game of your life
Thank you Coach Saban
We went and I gotta say, it was the best bowl experience ever. The game was great but man Pasadena and the tailgate was ridiculous. We are Alabama fans but hooked up with Michigan fans and they were the coolest. Everyone we met from Michigan were great. We parked on the golf course by the stadium and tailgated on the golf course. We toured the LA arboretum Christmas light show and man that was sick. Michigan fans are really classy from my experience and I am pulling for them even with the sign thing but my money is on Wash bc of that offense. Roll Tide!
All these Bama fans saying Bama beat themselves like Michigan didn’t also have 2 muffed punts, a missed field goal and missed extra point… lol
I think most people think Alabama at its best would beat Michigan at its best and neither happened. It doesn't matter but was a sloppy game.
@@jm12green31correct
Michigan at its best is the best in the country- can they play as expected against Washington- Michigan having multiple kicking issues and muffed punts- that wont work against Washington
Got family up in Michigan and they are like 50/50 split between being for the Wolverines or the Spartans ( beautiful rivalry) ..I’m happy for them up there…I even own a Michigan hat and always cheer for the big blue against the Buckeyes ! lol
Shout out to Coach Saban from a Bama fan..class act and roll tide ! 🐘
Kirby and Nick. Amazing coaches. Nick that guy though. Go dawgs!!
Florida State had no chance even with all those players that opted out. Every team in the Top 10 maybe the Top 15 beats them.
I am a huge Saban fan. The way he prepares these kids on and off the field is great. He is truly a class act and will be greatly missed. I am excited he has purchased a house a few miles away from me. Maybe ill run into him sometime...
Love you guys you guys should cometary every Alabama game you guys brake down the plays I love listening to you. Other commentators just suck they talking about stuff that’s not even remotely relevant to the game that’s going on.
Thank you for everything coach. We love you. Roll Tide Roll
Great thing about the NEW college football play off scenario is this greatest coach of ALL TIME gets to compete for the playoffs EVERY YEAR!!!!!😉
❤❤Great interview RTR
Nick is now going to build his defense exactly like Michigan/Baltimore Ravens…he has already mentioned it. Maybe try to grab Vandy coach who came from The Ravens staff. Also your center can’t snap the ball.
And thankfully, that dude entered the portal 😂 He’s terrible.
Love my coach @ Alabama. He is just great and I am thankful he is our coach. FSU does not even compare with or too Alabama.... If BAMA, struggled against UM....what would have that scored really looked like?? UM would have done what UGA did.. embarrassassssed them.
Anyhow
WE/I love you Coach in spite of this occurrence
Reid
I just hate that Coach Saban didn’t Win Another National Championship! If only Milroe had ran left and not straight ahead!
From a Michigan fan, much respect to one of the greatest coaches in college football history as he announces his retirement!
Jalen got competition at qb next year
He will be the starter
Happy retirement Coach.
Simply:
THE BEST TO EVER DO IT !!!
It’s ok to criticize people that opt out because it didn’t go the way they thought it should. Life is just that. It will not go our way all the time. Team mean’s together every one achieves more.
That’s right. There’s no me in team. Oh, wait…
As an LSU fan I can never hate him. This dude won us a Championship and build our program back to respectable. We were a laughing stock and he changed people perspective of this program
People were bad mouthing Miss Terry!? Now you may hate on our coach, but don’t you dare say a bad word about Miss Terry!
I'm a Gator fan and have a great respect for Saban. He has brought so much to college football. He is the standard and every coach dream is to beat him. Harbaugh is still in shock that he beat Saban.
After the season of interviews with nick i dont dislike him near as much
Alabama will be back
We will never hear from that center again
Michigan was 8 deep on the Dline. It quickly showed with those initial sacks. Never seen Alabama give up that many sacks to an opponent......ever.
Alabama's defense could not read the crossing routes and motion sets Michigan's offense was utilizing.
Coach Saban is nothing but Class!!!
If Saban is Class, why do his players act like fools after making just average plays, especially TD',s. Michigan chest bumped which I don't like, but I am hard core old school. Show some class including coaches.
Turned into an Aflac commercial at the end.
Coach Sayban the undeniable GOAT. Dont make Coaches like that in a factory. Hard to believe he is human. Lol for real though he has came as close to as possible to prefecting the NCAA head coach job. He just gets it. GO HOKIES
Room full of meatheads listening to the oracle. It's awesome
I think we'll be back better next year but there's work to be done in T-town.. we got exposed but now they know what to work on
Everyone praising Saban HAS to acknowledge the massive advantage Alabama (and SEC) enjoyed before the NIL and transfer portal leveled the playing field for recruiting. Not difficult to dominate when you have ALL the best players available...and probably paid alot of them.
Appreciate the main stream media for giving Michigan extra motivation to win. BET!
???
Great interview. But to me the missing question surrounded what really cost Alabama the game. That is the 4th and 2. To me, up by a touchdown, it was the perfect time to send everyone on defence. You know Michigan has a couple of plays up their sleeve... why give then a chance to execute? Go for the sack or rush and take your chances. Would have loved to hear Nick's response to the defense call with 4th and 2.
Love how Pat keeps calling Seth McLaughlin “Chase”
Auburn's defensive front blew Bama off the ball, too. Just players wanting it more, better play calling, and overall scheme. So I definitely feel they could have handled Michigan's front.
Now after his retirement has been announced, the respect he shows other teams despite being the best to ever do it is so admirable...what a goat🐐!
Wow that response about his future at Bama looks a lot different in retrospect
Pat ask the questions we wanna know! 11:15
Dang who’s looking at this in retrospect, now that he’s retired! I’m still in shock. I obviously knew the day was coming. I just was not prepared for it to be today.
Coach, please remind these folk that you are under contract w/Bama which BOTH agreed too and placed their signatures on, it’s both parties word on the agreed upon Contract.
God dang a few days later he would done. What a career a one of one and will never be duplicated.
I can't imagine someone threatening Mrs. Terry!
Thats why he is the best player lead team
That play call was called “gravedigger”
You never win when you play dirty, that wasn't your spot light YALL TOOK IT!!!!
We need to get back to alabama football
I think Bama will be very competitive under Saban, just think the dominance has ended. Not that they can’t get it back in the future!
Michigan played really good football! I have them winning it all tomorrow. Roll tide ❤️
The New Saban - Smiling , changing his image
JUST KEEP GRINDING BAMA. WE HAVE WORK TO DO. #RELOAD #SABANTHURSDAY #NICKHAPPENS #ROLLETH
Love our 🐐 Roll Tide!
Comparing last year's Alabama that had two losses with the undefeated FSU doesn't really make sense coach. I love how I pretend to not hear the noise but always makes little comments about that's what they say and that's what I hear haha
I am happy Michigan won
Go Blue!
